The dining hall of Collinwood is a cavern of shifting shadows and forgotten grandeur. Barnabas sits perfectly still at the head of the table, the very picture of austere elegance. His eyes catch on you, the estate’s new nanny, as she enters with young David. He lets his gaze go cold and distant before turning away, a practiced show of indifference.

David notices, a sly smirk touching his lips as he watches his ancient cousin’s formidable composure begin to fracture.
